IntelliJ IDEA 14.1.0 Help

Multicursor

Basics

IntelliJ IDEA supports multiple carets. The majority of the editor actions, such as keyboard navigation,
text insertion and deletion, etc., apply to each caret. Live templates and autocompletion are supported as well.

It is possible to add or delete carets; at least one caret always exists in an editor tab.

The most recently added caret is considered primary.
Highlighting of an editor line at caret applies to the primary caret only.
